Hello. A happy, error-free report about my experiences last night.  Only
one small inconvenience in the install.


Thankyou for this info.

My one problem: no network.  The Realtek chip was not detected.  I
rebooted to XP, did some googling, and figured out that I needed to
download the appropriate Realtek drivers, build and install them.  I put
the drivers on my vfat partition (grabbing the NVidia video drivers too),
rebooted to CentOS, built/installed the drivers, and then had to reboot
one more time before network would work.


These may show up in the CentOS-plus items as they are worked on. One
thing we might look at is using the kmod infrastructure that RHEL is
using for its modules (but I have been told it is a pain in the ass to
keep straight). I will see about trying to build a set of dkms modules
for things as I am most familiar with this technology and its 'doing
the reasonably right thing'.

Again thansk.
